I saw a tip from another potter on You Tube. I bought a very large plastic syringe on Amazon and you can get the water off the top of the settled clay water easily and discard it without disturbing the sludge underneath.
I seriously cannot thank you enough for making these videos. I started my pottery journey last year for a few months, and then I moved away. All I could think about was creating an at home studio, now, over a year later, it’s finally almost up and running! These videos are literally saving my life as a complete newbie potter.
thank you so much for sharing your system!
Hello from Wisconsin! 🐄Your videos are so helpful to me in setting up my at home studio. It's a back to the basics kind of place. Thank you so much❤
Just the video I needed today!! Thanks!! 👌🏼🪣🪣
yuhu!
This and your other videos about setting up water disposal and reclaim etc are very helpful and a little inspirational as it can seem like a big drawback not to have an industrial sink, but you make it clear that it’s not a problem and even just using buckets can be more convenient than a more bulky gravity system. Only things I would add is looking into using some rubber scraping device or squeegee to pull the clay from the bottom of the bucket or maybe even just a rubber kitchen spatula? Also it might be worth using syphon hose for draining or transferring water to spare your back.
Thank you so much!
I started hand-building at home. This is just what I needed! ✌️❤️
perfect! 🙌🙌
I've been dumping the excess water like this, but adding the clay to my reclaim. Lol should I not be doing this?
I love all the at home studio videos! They inspired me to setup a ceramics space in my apt
Gonna start a mini studio on my balcony and was wondering how I was gonna dispose of things! Perfect timing
yess! So perfect for mini studios. I hope you have good weather ☀️
I was wondering how you wash your hands with your two systems? 🤔I'm just setting up and trying to figure out my setup ☺
How big are the white buckets in your video? Setting up my home studio and trying to decide what size buckets I should be using.
Hello Mia thank you for always helping us ❤ but can you make a video about brushes and what we should look for that work with glaze should it be synthetic or nylon and the sizes also can you give me some tips about it right now thanks ☺️
haha sure! brushes are a matter of preference. In general for thin, detailed work, use stiffer brushes. Soft, fluffy brushes will pick up more paint/glaze so they are good to cover ground quickly. I personally don’t have a preference for nylon or animal hair. But I’m sure plenty of people do :)
@@PotterytothePeople Thank you sweetheart your the best 🥹❤️

Great video 👍🫶Is the bag okay to be disposed in Restmüll ??
yes exactly thats what I do :) Just make sure it’s not leaking so your garbage workers dont hate you ! Double baggin with zip ties works for me.
I love pot!

How about underglaze on a broken piece of pottery, can the broken pottery not be thrown in the trash?
Why didn’t you reclaim the slug ?
We have a house and we have a basement. The garage is for storage and the other part is a gym and a laundry area. What do I do if I want to throw?
I’m not sure I can answer that for you! I guess you could convert either space into a throwing area. Just depends what you can do without. I have a video about setting up a wheel at home. Maybe check that out for inspo :)
Maybe a stupid question but If it is just clay residue, is it not possible to put it in the garden?
Yes but keep in mind it will make your soil full of clay! I dump it in the garden but only the water on top.
How about hand washing?
Just bought a bucket yesterday at Home Depot, I should go get another (I do have 3 going already from throwing at home). Luckily at this point I'm with a community studio and don't have to deal with glaze water.
I dump the "clean" water outside, (I suck it out with a huge syringe) I don't want that down the sink.
yes its better outside! 😌 I’ve been thinking about getting one of those syringes! 🤔
I have sink traps in my office and man do they smell bad! It's disgusting when they have to be cleaned
I've been thinking if it is possible and how viable would be to make a "bucket" of plaster to help dry out the sludge and bin mostly solids. I think it is possible to make a bucket of plaster with two buckets of different sizes. Pour plaster in the bigger one and put the smaller inside with some weights or wood on the rim to keep it at a constant height and wait for the plaster to cure... I don't know, I've been quite sick and had time to think nonsense
You’re right! Plenty of potters do this already for their reclaim. More like a tray than a bucket though (dries faster!) I’ve also just left the bucket for a while in my studio and let it slowly dry out that way. This will require a third bucket though haha
I think I might actually be a potty hopper... :)
